Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.
We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.
If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.
We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.
Sorry for the issue!

Yea, your probably right on that .Im sure they have to do alot of testing to make sure it works ok first
At work we got the new flyers and such for the promotions starting Feb.1. I was surprised to see the 922 listed in the equipment flyer. I'm thinking fall/winter.
In the demo videos from CES, there were a lot of features that were not yet working at all.
Even the 722K seems to be delayed for some reason. I was going to get one of those, but I think I'll hold out for the 922. I just really need two OTA tuners!
On a more serious note; they showed the DTVpal DVR (TR-50) at the 2008 CES and I started beta testing one in October and they released them for sale to general public in late december. So most likely it will be the last quarter of this year. I have already requested to be part of the beta testing for them.
I also wonder what the effect will be from the original owners of Sling leaving the company. I think the financial guy is the only one left there and he's moving up to be the operating officer.
Their departure was expected. When a company is sold, it is routine for the old owners and top management team to stay on for a few months, then leave. So it should be a smooth transition.
Yeah, the winner should get a 922... In fact, seeing as we are trying to read in between the lines, I am going to predict an apropos release date of 9/22 (2009 hopefully...).
I think I really want a 922, I'm just still really wondering if the final product is actually going to forgo numeric keys on the remote, and how that's actually going to go over with consumers...theoretically I like the idea - as long as I can get to ESPN2 or HBO as fast as I can currently press 144 or 300.
